In the cockpit of the cruise ship, the captain was standing there with a solemn face to listen to the report.

It's just that the more reports he hears, the more ugly his expression becomes.

At this moment, the phone in the cockpit suddenly rang. No need to be reminded, the captain grabbed the phone without any hesitation.

"Hey, it's me..."

A series of faint voices soon came out of the microphone.

"Is there really no way..."

Muttering, the captain hung up the phone.

The call just now came from the first mate who went to the bottom of the ship to check on the situation, and the result was quite bad.

According to the first mate, the glass in the cabins of several layers of the hull was shattered, and a large amount of seawater poured into the ship, and if it continued like this, it would not be long before the ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

There was silence for a while, and after gritting his teeth, the captain said to the second officer.

"Go, send a distress signal with a telegram, and ...... Abandon ship..."

When he said this, the captain used almost all his strength.

The second mate had been mentally prepared for this result, so he was not surprised.

"Then I'll go down..."

But before he could turn away, the captain stopped him and gave another order.

————————————————————

The order to abandon ship soon spread throughout the ship, and the prepared sailors went to the deck with a large number of life jackets and handed them to the passengers who were already waiting in the passage.

Soon, all first- and second-class passengers were given their own life jackets and, with the help of sailors, lined up to board the lifeboats, as for third-class passengers...

In order to avoid 'chaos', they were locked in the passage at the captain's behest and waited until all the first- and second-class passengers boarded the lifeboats before they could take the turn of the largest number of third-class passengers...

This kind of thing would definitely be criticized in the afterlife, but in this era, it is the most normal thing to do. Just like the Titanic incident that happened a few years later, the movie once preached the principle of 'women and children first', but in that shipwreck, there were 32 children in the first and second class, and only one died, while there were 75 people in the third class, but 55 people died, and the survival rate of male passengers in the first class was higher than that of children in the third class...

Moreover, many of the victims of the first-class and second-class passengers either blindly believed that the "Titanic" was an "unsinkable ship", or missed the opportunity to escape while waiting for their families, and most of the third-class passengers who survived were on the lifeboat after jumping into the water.

This is the harshest reality, not the false artistic processing...

Elaine, although smart, has not experienced such a thing, and it is still the case, so she did not notice this. However, Yan Shao had experienced a shipwreck when he crossed over, and when he saw that there was hardly a third-class passenger on the deck, he understood the reason.

It's just that despite his understanding, he can't do anything about this kind of thing.

After all, he was just an ordinary traverser, and he was not crossing the Fantasy World or the Xianxia World, and his personal strength alone could not stop the threat of a hurricane.

The only thing that made him feel a little reassuring was that this tanker, unlike the Titanic, had enough lifeboats on board, and there would not be a situation where the lifeboats could not fit even half of the passengers.

Let alone...

"Even if you board the lifeboat, it's still a matter of uncertainty whether you will survive..."

With a wry smile in his heart, he helped Elaline to board a lifeboat under the arrangement of the sailor.

Although order on deck was not out of order, it became difficult to board the lifeboat under hurricanes and waves. It took a few minutes for the lifeboat, which could hold 20 people, to be filled.

To Yan Shao's surprise, the red-haired girl he had seen on the boat was now riding in a lifeboat with him, and it seemed that she was different from Yan Shao or Elainor, she was alone.

Seeing that the lifeboat was full, the sailors on board motioned for their companions to lower the lifeboat.

"Bang!"

Just as the lifeboat was being lowered, a strong wind struck, and as a result, the lifeboat slammed into the hull. Under the violent shaking, a passenger did not sit still and actually fell into the sea.

Seeing this scene, almost everyone's faces became very ugly, even Yan Shao.

Although he has also encountered shipwrecks before, the last shipwreck was just a boiler explosion and the ship sank quickly, but as long as he got on the lifeboat, there was basically nothing to do.

But this time is different, the boat is dangerous, but it does not mean that you can be safe if you get on the lifeboat.

Under the monstrous waves, even if the luck is only slightly worse, the entire lifeboat will be buried at the bottom of the sea.

When on the boat, people will divide themselves into three, six, nine and so on, and let the person with the highest status run for their lives first, but when they are under the ship, hurricanes and waves will not pay attention to this.

————————————————————————

With the fate of that unlucky guy as a reference, almost all the passengers clung to what they could grasp around them, and Yan Shao also hugged Elano with one hand and grabbed the hull with the other.

Because of the strong wind and waves, the whole process became very thrilling, and some female and male passengers kept screaming. Fortunately, in this process, there was no zebra or giraffe or something that suddenly appeared and smashed on the lifeboat like in the movie, so although the process was thrilling, the lifeboat was still placed on the undulating sea.

As soon as he was placed on the sea, Yan Shao felt as if the lifeboat had been thrown up by some force, and the entire lifeboat was thrown into the air. Then, with screams, the lifeboat was slammed into the sea.

Before Yan Shao could breathe a sigh of relief, another wave smashed over.

After being hit by the waves, everyone suddenly turned into chickens, but these are not the things that those on the boat need to care about.

With the work of the sailors, lifeboats full of passengers were placed on the surface of the sea.

Of course, the process was not all smooth, and several lifeboats had also suffered from the accidents that Yan Shao had experienced. It's just that their luck is not very good, one of them even has nearly a third of the passengers fall into the sea because of the excessive tilt, although they are also wearing life jackets, there may not be any accidents for a while, but in this level of hurricane, even if the people in the lifeboat want to rescue them, it is impossible...

Standing in the cockpit, the captain smiled with relief when he saw that most of the passengers on the deck had been evacuated, and the cruise ship had only sunk a little.

"Now it's time to arrange third-class passengers..."

Just as the captain was about to give the order, a sudden scream came from the deck.

The captain, who seemed to sense something, slowly turned around, and his clenched fist slowly loosened.

"Oh God..."
